In July, Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival features ever-eclectic saxophonist Jess Gillam in a unique programme which spans the centuries, from early masterpieces by J. S. Bach and Dowland to more fiery contributions by De Falla and Piazzolla. This programme is performed together with guitarist MILOS and shall be broadcast on German radio station NDR Kultur on the 27 November 2023. Milos also collaborates with Jess this season at Kissinger Sommer Festival. Their equally refreshing approaches to performance compliment each other perfectly.
